Definitions
- a virtual reality, or "VR” scenario typically involves presentation of digital or virtual image information without transparency to other actual real-world visual input.
- An augmented reality, or "AR”, scenario typically involves presentation of digital or virtual image information as an augmentation to visualization of the actual world around the user.
- an augmented reality scene 4 is depicted wherein a user of an AR technology sees a real-world park-like setting 6 featuring people, trees, buildings in the background, and a concrete platform 1120.
- the user of the AR technology may also perceive a robot statue 1 110 standing upon the real-world platform 1120, and a cartoon-like avatar character 2 flying around the park.
- the virtual elements 2 and 1 110 do not exist in the real world, but the user perceives these virtual objects as being part of, and as interacting with objects of the real world (e.g., 6, 1120, etc.).
- the human visual perception system is very complex, and producing such an AR scene that facilitates a comfortable, natural-feeling, rich presentation of virtual image elements amongst other virtual or real-world imagery elements is challenging.
- head-worn AR displays e.g., helmet-mounted displays, or smart glasses
- head-worn AR displays may be coupled to a user's head, and thus may move when the user's head moves. If the user's head motions are detected by the display system, the data being displayed can be updated to take the change in head pose into account.
- the head pose may be utilized to appropriately render virtual content to the user. Thus any small variation may disrupt and/or diminish the delivery or timing of virtual content that is delivered to the user's AR display.
- the head-worn display is used to present multiple objects within a virtual space (for instance, a rich virtual world)
- measurements of head pose i.e., the location and orientation of the user's head
- head pose can be used to re-render the scene to match the user's dynamically changing head location and orientation, and provide an increased sense of immersion in the virtual space.
- a user of AR technology is interacting with the virtual world, he or she may use an object or his/her hand to point to objects or to select options. In order for this interaction to occur, localization of the object or the user's hand to an accurate degree is also important.
- both head pose, and "hand pose" are both crucial, and localization techniques must be used in order to accurately depict virtual content to the user.
- detection and/or calculation of head pose and/or hand pose can facilitate the AR display system to render virtual objects such that they appear to occupy a space in the real world in a manner that is congruent to the objects of the real world.
- jarring/disorienting in relation to one or more real objects improves the user's enjoyment of the AR experience.
- detection of the position and/or orientation of a real object such as a handheld device (which also may be referred to as a "totem"), haptic device, or other real physical object, in relation to the user's head or AR system may also facilitate the display system in presenting display information to the user to enable the user to interact with certain aspects of the AR system efficiently.
- head and/or hand movements may occur at a large variety of ranges and speeds.
- the speed may vary not only between different types of head movements, but within or across the range of a single movement.
- speed of head movement may initially increase (e.g., linearly or otherwise) from a starting point, and may decrease as an ending point is reached, obtaining a maximum speed somewhere between the starting and ending points of the head movement. Rapid movements may even exceed the ability of the particular display or projection technology to render images that appear uniform and/or as smooth motion to the end user.
- Head or hand tracking accuracy and latency i.e., the elapsed time between when the user moves his or her head/hand and the time when the image gets updated and displayed to the user
- head or hand tracking accuracy and latency have been challenges for VR and AR systems.
- the latency is high, the system can create a mismatch between the user's vestibular and visual sensory systems, and generate a user perception scenario that can lead to motion sickness or simulator sickness.
- the system latency is high, the apparent location of virtual objects may appear unstable during rapid head motions.
- head-worn display systems can also benefit from accurate and low-latency head pose detection.
- These may include head-tracked display systems in which the display is not worn on the user's body, but is, e.g., mounted on a wall or other surface.
- the head-tracked display may act like a window onto a scene, and as a user moves his head relative to the "window" the scene is re-rendered to match the user's changing viewpoint.
- Other systems may include a head-worn projection system, in which a head-worn display projects light onto the real world.
- AR systems may be designed to be interactive with the user. For example, multiple users may play a ball game with a virtual ball and/or other virtual objects. One user may "catch" the virtual ball, and throw the ball back to another user.
- a first user may be provided with a totem (e.g., a physical "bat” communicatively coupled to the AR system) to hit the virtual ball.
- a virtual user interface may be presented to the AR user to allow the user to select one of many options. The user may use totems, haptic devices, wearable components, or simply touch the virtual screen to interact with the system.
- Detecting a pose and an orientation of the user may enable the AR system to display virtual content in an effective and enjoyable manner.
- the AR system must recognize a physical location of a real object (e.g., user's head, totem, haptic device, wearable component, user's hand, etc.) and correlate the physical coordinates of the real object to virtual coordinates corresponding to one or more virtual objects being displayed to the user.
- This process can be improved by highly accurate sensors and sensor recognition systems that track a position and orientation of one or more objects at rapid rates. Current approaches do not perform localization at satisfactory speed or precision standards.

- the cloud 46 assets such as one or more cloud server systems 1 10 are operatively coupled 115, such as via wired or wireless networking (wireless being preferred for mobility, wired being preferred for certain high-bandwidth or high-data-volume transfers that may be desired), directly to (40, 42) one or both of the local computing assets, such as processor and memory configurations, coupled to the user's head 120 and belt 308 as described above.
- These computing assets local to the user may be operatively coupled to each other as well, via wired and/or wireless connectivity configurations 44, such as the wired coupling 68 discussed below in reference to Figure 8.

As more and more AR users continually capture information about their real environment (e.g., through cameras, sensors, IMUs, etc.), the map becomes more and more accurate and complete.
- yet another user may be present in real-time at the park, and may take a walk in that park, with a friend (e.g., the person at the personal computer) joining the user through a shared AR and/or VR experience.
- the AR system may detect a location of the street, a location of the trees in the park, a location of the statue, etc.

- 3-D points pertaining to various objects may be captured from the environment, and the pose (i.e., vector and/or origin position information relative to the world) of the cameras that capture those images or points may be determined. These 3-D points may be "tagged", or associated, with this pose information.
- points captured by a second camera may be utilized to determine the head pose of the second camera.
- this information may be utilized to extract textures, make maps, and create one or more virtual copies of the real world.
- the AR system can be utilized to capture both 3-D points and the 2-D images that produced the points. As discussed above, these points and images may be sent out to the cloud storage and processing resource (e.g., the servers 1 10 of Figure 3), in some embodiments. In other embodiments, this information may be cached locally with embedded pose information (i.e., the tagged images) such that tagged 2-D images are sent to the cloud along with 3-D points. If a user is observing a dynamic scene, the user may also send additional information up to the cloud servers. In one or more embodiments, object recognizers may run (either on the cloud resource or on the local system) in order to recognize one or more objects in the captured points. More information on object recognizers and the passable world model may be found in U.S. Patent

- SLAM simultaneous localization and mapping
- the controller 406 may control the electromagnetic field emitter 402, and may also capture measurement data from the various electromagnetic sensors 404. It should be appreciated that the various components of the system may be coupled to each other through any electro-mechanical or wireless/Bluetooth means.
- the controller 406 may also store data regarding the known magnetic field, and the coordinate space in relation to the magnetic field. This information may then be used to detect the position and orientation of the sensors 404 in relation to the coordinate space corresponding to the known electromagnetic field, which can then be used to determined world coordinates of the user's hand (e.g., location of the electromagnetic emitter).
- electromagnetic tracking systems can produce highly accurate tracking results with minimal latency and high resolution. Additionally, the electromagnetic tracking system does not necessarily rely on optical trackers, thereby making it easier to track sensors/objects that are not in the user's line-of-vision.
- One or more algorithms may be formulated based on a distance of the sensors from the electromagnetic field emitter.
- the controller 406 may be configured with such algorithms to determine a position and orientation of the sensor/object at varying distances away from the electromagnetic field emitter. Given the rapid decline of the strength of the
- the electromagnetic field emitter is powered by electric current (e.g., plug-in power supply) and has sensors located within a 20 ft. radius away from the electromagnetic field emitter. A shorter radius between the sensors and field emitter may be more desirable in many applications, including AR applications.

- the virtual scene may comprise a monster hiding behind a real building.
- the view of the virtual monster may need to be modified such that a realistic AR experience is provided.
- a position and/or orientation of a totem, haptic device or some other means of interacting with a virtual content may be important in enabling the AR user to interact with the AR system.
- the AR system must detect a position and orientation of a real object in relation to virtual content.
- a position of a totem, user's hand, haptic device or any other real object configured for interaction with the AR system must be known in relation to the displayed virtual interface in order for the system to understand a command, etc.
- Conventional localization methods including optical tracking and other methods are typically plagued with high latency and low resolution problems, which makes rendering virtual content challenging in many AR applications.
- the electromagnetic tracking system may be adapted to the AR system to detect position and orientation of one or more objects in relation to an emitted electromagnetic field.

- the handheld controller may be a totem to be used in a gaming application.
- the hand-held controller may be a haptic device that may be used to interact with the AR system (e.g., via a virtual user interface).
- the electromagnetic field emitter may simply be incorporated as part of the belt pack 70, as shown in Figure 2D.
- the hand-held controller 606 may comprise a battery 610 or other power supply that powers the electromagnetic field emitter 602.
- the electromagnetic field emitter 602 may also comprise or be coupled to an IMU component 650 that is configured to assist in determining position and/or orientation of the electromagnetic field emitter 602 relative to other components. This may be useful in cases where both the electromagnetic field emitter 602 and the sensors 604 (discussed in further detail below) are mobile. In some embodiments, placing the electromagnetic field emitter 602 in the hand-held controller rather than the belt pack, as shown in the embodiment of Figure 6, ensures that the electromagnetic field emitter does not compete for resources at the belt pack, but rather uses its own battery source at the hand-held controller 606.
- electromagnetic sensors 604 may be placed on one or more locations on the user's headset 58, along with other sensing devices such as one or more IMUs or additional magnetic flux capturing coils 608.
- sensors 604, 608 may be placed on either side of the head set 58. Since these sensors 604, 608 are engineered to be rather small (and hence may be less sensitive, in some cases), it may be important to include multiple sensors in order to improve efficiency and precision of the measurements.
- one or more sensors 604, 608 may also be placed on the belt pack 620 or any other part of the user's body.
- the sensors 604, 608 may communicate wirelessly or through Bluetooth® with a computing apparatus 607 (e.g., the controller) that determines a pose and orientation of the sensors 604, 608 (and the AR headset 58 to which they are attached) in relation to the known magnetic field emitted by the electromagnetic field emitter 602.
- a computing apparatus 607 e.g., the controller
- the computing apparatus 607 may reside at the belt pack 620.
- the computing apparatus 607 may reside at the headset 58 itself, or even the hand-held controller 604.
- the computing apparatus 607 may receive the measurements of the sensors 604, 608, and determine a position and orientation of the sensors 604, 608 in relation to the known electromagnetic field emitted by the
- a mapping database 632 may be consulted to determine the location coordinates of the sensors 604, 608.
- the mapping database 632 may reside in the belt pack 620 in some embodiments.
- the mapping database 632 resides on a cloud resource 630.
- the computing apparatus 607 communicates wirelessly to the cloud resource 630.
- the determined pose information in conjunction with points and images collected by the AR system may then be communicated to the cloud resource 630, and then be added to the passable world model 634.
- the electromagnetic field emitter may be engineered to be compact, using smaller coils compared to traditional systems.
- a shorter radius between the electromagnetic sensors 604 and the electromagnetic field emitter 602 may reduce power consumption while maintaining acceptable field strength when compared to conventional systems such as the one detailed in Figure 4.
- this feature may be utilized to prolong the life of the battery 610 that powers the controller 606 and the electromagnetic field emitter 602.
- this feature may be utilized to reduce the size of the coils generating the magnetic field at the electromagnetic field emitter 602.
- the power of the electromagnetic field emitter 602 may be need to be increased. This allows for an electromagnetic field emitter unit 602 that may fit compactly at the hand-held controller 606.
- IMU-based pose tracking may be used.
- maintaining the IMUs as stable as possible increases an efficiency of the pose detection process.
- the IMUs may be engineered such that they remain stable up to 50-100 milliseconds, which results in stable signals with pose update/reporting rates of 10-20 Hz.
- some embodiments may utilize an outside pose estimator module (because IMUs may drift over time) that may enable pose updates to be reported at a rate of 10-20 Hz. By keeping the IMUs stable for a reasonable amount of time, the rate of pose updates may be dramatically decreased to 10- 20 Hz (as compared to higher frequencies in conventional systems).
- Yet another way to conserve power of the AR system may be to run the electromagnetic tracking system at a 10% duty cycle (e.g., only pinging for ground every 100 milliseconds). In other words, the electromagnetic tracking system operates for 10 milliseconds out of every 100 milliseconds to generate a pose estimate. This directly translates to power savings, which may, in turn, affect size, battery life and cost of the AR device.
- this reduction in duty cycle may be strategically utilized by providing two hand-held controllers (not shown) rather than just one.
- the user may be playing a game that requires two totems, etc.
- two users may have their own totems/hand-held controllers to play the game.
- the controllers may operate at offset duty cycles.
- the same concept may also be applied to controllers utilized by two different users playing a multi-player game, for example.
- the hand-held controller 606 emits a magnetic field.
- the electromagnetic sensors 604 (placed on headset 58, belt pack 620, etc.) detect the magnetic field.
- a position and orientation of the headset/belt is determined based on a behavior of the coils/IMUs 608 at the sensors 604.
- the detected behavior of the sensors 604 is communicated to the computing apparatus 607, which in turn determines the position and orientation of the sensors 604 in relation to the electromagnetic field(e.g., coordinates relative to the handheld component).
- the computing apparatus 607 determines the position and orientation of the sensors 604 in relation to the electromagnetic field(e.g., coordinates relative to the handheld component).
- these coordinates may then be converted to world coordinates, since the head pose relative to the world may be known through SLAM processing, as discussed above.
- the pose information is conveyed to the computing apparatus 607 (e.g., at the belt pack 620 or headset 58).
- the passable world model 634 may be consulted determine virtual content to be displayed to the user based on the determined head pose and hand pose.
- virtual content may be delivered to the user at the AR headset 58 based on the correlation. It should be appreciated that the flowchart described above is for illustrative purposes only, and should not be read as limiting.
- an electromagnetic tracking system similar to the one outlined in Figure 6 enables pose tracking at a higher refresh rate and lower latency (e.g., head position and orientation, position and orientation of totems, and other controllers). This allows the AR system to project virtual content with a higher degree of accuracy, and with lower latency when compared to optical tracking techniques for calculating pose information.
- a higher refresh rate and lower latency e.g., head position and orientation, position and orientation of totems, and other controllers.

- the male pins or female pins are configured to be spring-loaded such that they may be depressed along each pin's longitudinal axis.
- the pins may be termed "pogo pins" and may generally comprise a highly conductive material, such as copper or gold.
- the illustrated configuration may mate 46 male pins with female pins, and the entire assembly may be quick-release decoupled in half by manually pulling it apart and overcoming a magnetic interface 146 load which may be developed using north and south magnets oriented around the perimeters of the pin arrays 140, 144.
- an approximate 2 kg load from compressing the 46 pogo pins is countered with a closure maintenance force of about 4 kg.
- the pins in the arrays 140, 144 may be separated by about 1.3 mm, and the pins may be operatively coupled to conductive lines of various types, such as twisted pairs or other combinations to support USB 3.0, HDMI 2.0, I2S signals, GPIO, and MIPI configurations, and high current analog lines and grounds configured for up to about 4 amps / 5 volts in one embodiment.
- an electromagnetic sensing coil assembly (604, e.g., 3 individual coils coupled to a housing) is shown coupled to a head mounted component 58.
- a head mounted component 58 Such a configuration adds additional geometry (i.e., a protrusion) to the overall assembly which may not be desirable.

- the y-axis coil 150 may be placed in another portion of the head mounted component 58 (e.g., either bottom side of the frame).
- the z-axis coil 152 may be placed in yet another portion of the head mounted component 58 (e.g., either top side of the frame).
- Figures 12A-12E illustrate various configurations for featuring a ferrite core coupled to an electromagnetic sensor to increase field sensitivity.
- the ferrite core may be a solid cube 1202. Although the solid cube may be most effective in increasing field sensitivity, it may also be the most heavy when compared to the remaining configurations depicted in Figures 12B-12E.
- a plurality of ferrite disks 1204 may be coupled to the electromagnetic sensor.
- a solid cube with a one axis air core 1206 may be coupled to the electromagnetic sensor.
- an open space i.e., the air core

- a solid cube with a three axis air core 1208 may be coupled to the electromagnetic sensor. In this configuration, the solid cube is hollowed out along all three axes, thereby decreasing the weight of the cube considerably.
- Time division multiplexing may be utilized to save mass as well.
- TDM time division multiplexing
- a conventional local data processing configuration is shown for a 3-coil electromagnetic receiver sensor, wherein analog currents come in from each of the X, Y, and Z coils (1302, 1304 and 1306), go into a separate pre-amplifier 1308, go into a separate band pass filter 1310, a separate preamplifier 1312, through an analog-to-digital converter 1314, and ultimately to a digital signal processor 1316.
- time division multiplexing may be utilized to share hardware, such that each coil sensor chain doesn't require its own amplifiers, etc. This may be achieved through a TDM switch 1320, as shown in Figure 13B, which facilitates processing of signals to and from multiple transmitters and receivers using the same set of hardware components (amplifiers, etc.).
- signal to noise ratios may be increased by having more than one set of electromagnetic sensors, each set being relatively small relative to a single larger coil set.
- the low-side frequency limits which generally are needed to have multiple sensing coils in close proximity, may be improved to facilitate bandwidth requirement improvements.
- multiplexing there may be a tradeoff with multiplexing, in that multiplexing generally spreads out the reception of radiofrequency signals in time, which results in generally coarser signals. Thus, larger coil diameters may be required for multiplexed systems. For example, where a multiplexed system may require a 9 mm-side dimension cubic coil sensor box, a non-multiplexed system may only require a 7 mm-side dimension cubic coil box for similar performance. Thus, it should be noted that there may be tradeoffs in minimizing geometry and mass.
- the system may be configured to selectively utilize the sensor and electromagnetic emitter pairing that are closest to each other to optimize the performance of the system.
- a head mounted component assembly may capture a combination of IMU and camera data (the camera data being used, for example, for SLAM analysis, such as at the belt pack processor where there may be more RAW processing horsepower present) to determine and update head pose (i.e., position and orientation) relative to a real world global coordinate system 162.

- electromagnetic field coil receiver sets (e.g., a set being 3 differently-oriented individual coils) coupled to the head mounted component may be used to capture magnetic flux from the electromagnetic transmitter. This captured magnetic flux may be utilized to determine positional or orientational difference (or "delta"), between the head mounted component and handheld component 168.
- the combination of the head mounted component assisting in determining pose relative to the global coordinate system, and the hand held assisting in determining relative location and orientation of the handheld relative to the head mounted component allows the system to generally determine where each component is located relative to the global coordinate system, and thus the user's head pose, and handheld pose may be tracked, preferably at relatively low latency, for presentation of augmented reality image features and interaction using movements and rotations of the handheld component 170.
- FIG 15 an embodiment is illustrated that is somewhat similar to that of Figure 14, with the exception that the system has many more sensing devices and configurations available to assist in determining pose of both the head mounted component 172 and a hand held component 176, 178, such that the user's head pose, and handheld pose may be tracked, preferably at relatively low latency, for presentation of augmented reality image features and interaction using movements and rotations of the handheld component 180.
- a head mounted component captures a combination of IMU and camera data for SLAM analysis in order to determined and update head pose relative a real-world global coordinate system.
- the system may be further configured to detect presence of other localization resources in the environment, like Wi-Fi, cellular, beacons, RADAR, LIDAR, GPS, markers, and/or other cameras which may be tied to various aspects of the global coordinate system, or to one or more movable components 172.
- the user may also activate a handheld component to, for example, play an augmented reality game 174, and the handheld component may comprise an
- electromagnetic transmitter operatively coupled to one or both of the belt pack and head mounted component 176.
- Other localization resources may also be similarly utilized.
- One or more electromagnetic field coil receiver sets (e.g., a set being 3 differently-oriented individual coils) coupled to the head mounted component may be used to capture magnetic flux from the electromagnetic transmitter. This captured magnetic flux may be utilized to determine positional or orientational difference (or "delta"), between the head mounted component and handheld component 178.
- the user's head pose and the handheld pose may be tracked at relatively low latency for presentation of AR content and/or for interaction with the AR system using movement or rotations of the handheld component 180.
- the invention includes methods that may be performed using the subject devices.
- the methods may comprise the act of providing such a suitable device. Such provision may be performed by the end user.
- the "providing" act merely requires the end user obtain, access, approach, position, set-up, activate, power-up or otherwise act to provide the requisite device in the subject method.
- Methods recited herein may be carried out in any order of the recited events which is logically possible, as well as in the recited order of events.
